Sunset in Idaho

12 Clark Fork Idaho River Bridge Lake Sunset

Coming from Key West where even the crappy sunset is still amazing I was excited to see the colors that I did while we were on the boat heading home. The water was like glass as we floated along the river. I have to say there were quite a few photo opportunities right around the corner.

My Idaho Adventure – On the water

While on my Idaho adventure I spent a lot of time in the water. I think the most fun was floating down the river with a beer in my hand. We found this cute little natural beach a few miles up the river and spent quite a bit of time there. This is also where I spotted the bald eagle nest across the water. I couldn’t wait to get back to the house and pick up my longer telephoto lens. The photos are amazing!

But going back to the water … I loved this little spot that we found.

Scott and I did have a little fun while we were there. I was happy to see that I could get a photo of him smiling. Might be the only good ones I have! He doesn’t know how to smile for a photo!

My Idaho Adventure

01 Clark Fork Idaho

I have to admit I have never spent any time in the state of Idaho so when Scott brought the idea up I was not the most excited in the world. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. After some Google searches I discovered that his Grandparents had a house in a very small town called Clark Fork. I have to say by small I mean tiny … 527 people to be exact. I knew that they were on a river that flows to a huge lake. I had no idea about the stunning views that I was in store for.

After we arrived we went straight down the dock to the boat to begin our relaxing vacation. I spent a lot of time on that dock just reading and taking photos. I was really excited to learn that they had quite a few eagles in the area and was able to get some pretty cool photos of them. Majority of our time was spent out on the boat. I think this trip took me out of my comfort zone for quite a few reasons. I love an adventure sometimes I just like it to be at a nice restaurant vs. climbing a mountain.

I’m sure this area would be beautiful with a little snow falling and when the lake has ice on it. I loved all the huge trees everywhere you looked. I was always on the lookout for a moose… I have yet to see one on any adventure I was taken into the wild.
